I take a slight issue with initial description of Realism in the wiki article. Realism was much more grounded in depicting real life, real people, instead of kings and wars and Jesus etc. It was much more of a socio political statement than just "painting things as life like as possible". The paintings were still very staged and stylized. (I have an MA in Art History which really helps centering Div's with CSS)
